You were made to take the blame and go to jail, but you weren't made a master of both medicine

The next day.

Qin Ran first went to the Black Emperor Consortium.

Gu Xinrou's face lit up with joy when she saw Qin Ran: "Busy man, it's been a long time!"

"I've been quite busy lately. I hope the company is doing well."

"Everything's fine, everything went smoothly. I heard from Su Qingyi that you went to find another senior sister, did you find her?"

Gu Chuan shook his head: "Didn't find it. This trip was a waste of time."

"What's going on? Is the intelligence inaccurate?"

"I guess so, there were mistakes."

"Don't rush, take your time."

Qin Ran continued, "I might be quite busy in the future and won't have much time to come to the company, so I'll leave this to you."

"You don't need to worry about that at all. What are your plans for the future?" Gu Xinrou asked Qin Ran.

"There aren't any specific plans. I'll go to the Chu family to see Chu Qingcheng later."

"Speaking of Chu Qingcheng, I heard that the old master of the Chu family wanted to step down and let her take over as chairman, but the board of directors unanimously opposed it."

This matter has recently caused quite a stir in the business world.

Gu Xinrou had also heard about it.

Qin Ran replied, "You're right, that's true. I'm trying to figure out how to get Chu Qingcheng to the position of chairman smoothly."

Qin Ran thought about it for a long time last night.

But I still couldn't think of a good solution.

So this morning he went to see Gu Xinrou first to see if she had any good ideas.

Gu Xinrou frowned slightly: "The main reason now is that the board of directors is against it. If Chu Qingcheng wants to take over, she must get the board's approval."

"I know that, please continue."

"First, we need to investigate whether anyone on the board is leading the opposition, or whether anyone is forming cliques to deliberately prevent Chu Qingcheng from taking the position. If so, we need to deal with that person. If not, then we need an opportunity to win over all the board members and get them to agree to Chu Qingcheng's appointment," Gu Xinrou said earnestly.

Qin Ran sighed softly.

He will go to the Chu family to investigate the first point Gu Xinrou mentioned.

As for the second point, Qin Ran had already thought of it.

We just don't have a concrete solution right now.

"Is there a specific plan or solution?"

Gu Xinrou gave a wry smile: "So, after all this time, you came here to ask me for advice."

"Yes, now only you, a powerful businesswoman, can help me."

"I remember you said before that Chu Qingcheng holds a special place in your heart. Now I want to ask you a question."

"Go ahead and ask."

Have you ever thought about having a future with her?

Qin Ran pursed his lips: "Yes, I said before that I would marry her, but not now. As for when, I can't say for sure. That's the only answer I can give you."

"In that case, the most effective way is to have Chu Zhenlong announce your relationship with Chu Qingcheng at the board meeting, and let him reveal your identity. That way, the board members probably won't object anymore," Gu Xinrou said, looking at Qin Ran.

Qin Ran did not respond.

Is this really the only way?

But once he does that, the outside world will assume that he has a relationship with Chu Qingcheng.

If he contacts other women in the future, and this is exposed by the outside world...

Chu Qingcheng must be feeling terrible.

She must be silently enduring a lot of suffering.

Qin Ran snapped out of her thoughts and looked at Gu Xinrou: "Is there any other way?"

"There isn't one right now. This is the most effective way. Or you can wait for an opportunity for Chu Qingcheng to showcase her talents and gain the board's approval. There's no other way," Gu Xinrou said, gesturing with her lips.

"Yeah, I know. I'll handle it myself."

"There's something I don't understand. Since you plan to marry Chu Qingcheng, why are you so reluctant to let outsiders know about your relationship?"

Qin Ran smiled and said, "It seems you still don't understand me. I still have four senior sisters to find, and I'll have to go through at least four more women. If I were to announce my relationship with Chu Qingcheng now, do you think it would be fair to her?"

Gu Xinrou stood up and sat down in front of Qin Ran: "I think it's fair!"

"What's the reason?"

"Because you are helping Chu Qingcheng, the person who benefits the most is her. If she doesn't think it's a problem and she thinks it's fair, then there's no issue. I think you can have a good talk with her."

Qin Ran did not respond.

He just looked thoughtful.

It must be said that Gu Xinrou's words made some sense.

He felt it was unfair to Chu Qingcheng, but that was just his opinion.

He never asked Chu Qingcheng what she thought.

"Understood, thank you for the suggestion, I'll be going now."

After Qin Ran finished speaking, he got up and left.

Gu Xinrou watched him leave, a smile playing on her lips.

Unbeknownst to him, he also noticed Qin Ran's change.

This guy has become much more composed and has become more insightful.

He was no longer the fearless person he once was.

This is what they call growing up...

Meanwhile, Qin Ran drove to the Chu Group.

He went directly to Chu Qingcheng's office.

He ran into Chu Wan'er on the way.

"Qin Ran, you're here to see Chu Qingcheng again."

"What's it to you?" Qin Ran retorted.

Chu Wan'er crossed her arms: "Don't look at me like that. I admit that after fighting for so long, you did win, but it's absolutely impossible for Chu Qingcheng to become the chairman. She will never get past the board of directors."

"That's not necessarily true. With me here, even if she wanted to be the Jade Emperor, I would make sure she sat on the throne."

Chu Wan'er was about to retort.

But when she thought about how she had always lost to Qin Ran, she lost her confidence.

"You've already come up with a solution?"

"Yes, that's why I came to see Chu Qingcheng. I can't waste any more time with you, I have to go find her."

After saying that, Qin Ran walked away with his head held high.

Chu Wan'er was very flustered.

Judging from his confident demeanor, he must have come up with a solution.

In any case, we absolutely cannot let him succeed this time.

Chu Wan'er had to quickly tell Sun Qing this news.

At the same time, Qin Ran arrived at Chu Wan'er's office.

"You're finally back." Chu Qingcheng greeted him with a smile.

"Do you miss me?"

"Yes, come and sit down." Chu Qingcheng pulled Qin Ran's arm and sat down.

"I'm here today to see you again, this time about your appointment as chairman. Any progress lately?"

"No, the board of directors just doesn't agree."

"Any news about Sun Qing?"

"She has been privately mobilizing the board members to resolutely oppose my rise to power," Chu Qingcheng said, pursing her lips.

Qin Ran gave a cold laugh.

Gu Xinrou was right.

Sure enough, some people were forming cliques within the board of directors.

Qin Ran felt that this time he could finally make a clean break with Sun Qing and her daughter.

"Qingcheng, I do have a plan, but it depends on whether you're willing to try."

"What's the solution?"

"Announce our relationship directly to the board of directors and reveal my identity."

Chu Qingcheng was somewhat surprised.

Is Qin Ran going to give her a formal title?

We've been waiting for this day for ages!

"Is everything you said true?" Chu Qingcheng looked at Qin Ran with her large, beautiful eyes.

"Of course it's true, now it's just a matter of whether you're willing or not."

"Of course I'd like to. Why wouldn't I? I've always dreamed of being your girlfriend."

The more Chu Qingcheng said this, the more pressure Qin Ran felt.

"However, I still have four senior sisters to find. Once I find them, I need to cultivate supernatural powers and secret techniques with them through yin-yang union. This is a task given to me by my master, and I must complete it. This also means that you cannot be my only one right now. Do you mind?"
